THE SOUND OF PRECISION

תכןToaKHaN is defined as "arranged or set in
order;" the term is translated "measured" in ISamuel2:3.תכןTaKHaN also means toregulate or to formulate a program (or
TACTIC).

Another master of arrangement is the מדקדק M’DaQDaiQ
(grammarian, pedant). דקדוקDiQDOOQ, from a
word for “precision,” came to mean “grammar” in Middle Hebrew.

Like a true TACTICIAN he willדקדק DaQDaiQ (see to details),דיקDeeYaiQ (be
precise —Aramaic) and דקDaQ (scrutinize). דקDahQ is fine,
as in fine points or details.That which
is ground to fineness is הדק HaDaiQ – Exodus 30:36.Follow this sound and sense to theח-דHet-Dalet
sharpness at“ACUTE,” and more ד-ק Dalet-Koof
fineness at “TALCUM.”

Theד-ק D-QofדיקDeeYaiQ (exact) is the second sub-root ofצדקTSeDeQ (justice – see “ZODIAC”.)The first sub-root isצדTSaD (side – see
“SIDE”) . When an Israeli agrees with you “exactly” you will hear בדיוקB’DeeYOOQ or דוקה DaVQaH (only thus
so).

BRANCHES: Cognates
of TACTICS at IE “root” tag (to set in order) include ATAXIA, HYPOTAXIS,
PARATAXIS, SYNTAX, TAXIS and TAXO-.ATACTIC
involves a polymer without regularity.

Japanese kitto (reverse to dental-guttural) means surely, certainly… as in
exactness..TACT and TAXare related to תכן ToaKH(aN) as "measure." Latin taxare is to assess. TACTFUL in Russian
is takteech' (nee). See "ORTHODOX" and "TECHNICAL."

Moving to things ground fine, TALC (see
“TALCUM") powder is from Arabic talq,
related to Arabic daqiq (flour). The L is
added to the root. These derive fromדקDaQ
(fine, minute; a "mote" in Isaiah40:15) and DTaK[H]ah`N (to grind - Exodus32:20).Much likeTALC,tilko is flour. tilkostaasa is baking
powder in Koasti (Muskogean).

The DG of dogwai (exactly) fits Dalet-Koof precision in Shoshoni, a
Uto-Aztecan language of S.W. American Indians.The taixi, an ant in Tupi Indian (Brazil), may be a related
dental-guttural that speaks to the ant’s small size and amazing precision.For KT words of smallness see
"KITTEN."

Many Dalet-Koof pedant words are
found in the AHD’s alleged root dek-1
(to take) amassed by scholars with DOCTORATES in language and no knowledge of
Semitic.Exact, accurate in Cherokee
(Amerind) iskali (all) didolagi,fromדיקDaYeQ. In
Turkish dikkatis attention, care,
be careful; dikkatli ispainstaking.

Judges
must be as careful with the rules of law as a DOCTOR of דקדוקDiQDOOQ (grammar,
exactness). A jury of ignorant peers is a travesty.A DOCENT
who must drill DOGMA and DOCTRINE is a tyrant, not a teacher.
The AHD traces these DK words not to Dalet-Koof exact pedantry, but to Latin docere (to teach)which they think means “to cause to
accept.A DOCTORATE involvesthe Dalet-KoofDQ)of precision or the Dalet-Ayin (D-GH) of
knowledge , not“causing to accept. “

EXACTreversed the dental-guttural, but it better belongs
with IE "root" ak (sharp), and with ACUTE(see "ACUTE").It is currently in an INEXACT entry with
"agent" and "agitate" at an IE "root" called
ag (to drive). Otherwise, this inexact “root” is from נהג NaHaG,
to lead. Getting back to DOCTORS,
the Czech exaktní means “scientific”
as well as “exact.” The AHD traces EXACT is more recently from Latin exāctus.
The prefix EX- (from out) and a past participle of Latin agere (to weigh) , is supposed to have given us EXACTITUDE. Reversing CT to T-K might
present us with a finer, Dalet-Koofsource.

“From weighing” is not EXACTLY precision. Would not
the concept (thus a word) of accuracy precede the use of precise weights? Besides
the grammatical game-playing, where is
the dental in this etymology? Scanning global data we can prefer our Semitic
Tahf-Kahf,
Dalet-Koof and Het-Dalet etymons.

French exact and Spanish exactimente (exactly), exactitude (precision) and exacto (accurate)., and even
the borrowed German exakt are obviously via the
Latin. But “exact” in Bengali (saṭhika), Bulgarian (tochen),
Finnish (tarkka), Hindi and Nepali (thika),
Latvian (noteikts), Lithuanian (tikslus),Turkish kati and (the likely Arabic
borrowing) dakik, and the Vietnamese (đúng) support the Edenic
etymons likeתכןToaKHaN, set in precise
order; and Dalet-Yod-Koof,דיק DaYaiQ, exact.

CATECHISM
(didactic drilling with questions) is from Greek catachein.It means
to teach, from kata (thoroughly) + ekhe
(to sound) KHADT means to propose a
riddle (Daniel5:12); חדKHADT means sharp, andחדדK[H]eeDaiD means sharpening. So questions and answers is a sharp way to
drill students.

There is a fine difference between the small
slice of time, “minute,”and the
adjective “minute.” This is why דקDahQ,
fine, detailed, gave rise to Arabic daqiqa (minute), Middle Hebrew דקהDaQaH
(minute) andFarsi daqiq (minute).
